BOTTOM: The Crusader, delivered by the same yard to Scofish International Ltd. In December of 1994 and January of 1995, Astilleros Armon, located in the coastal town of Navia in the northern Spanish province of Asturias, delivered two significant fishing ships. The Maicoa Uno is a freezer longliner for fishing in unrestricted waters, built to order from the Spanish owner Emilio Fernandez, operating out of Vigo. The ship is equipped with the latest deck machinery for paying out and heaving in longline, as well as advanced freezing and storage equip- ment to keep catches aboard ship at extremely low temperatures. The propulsion plant consists of an Anglo Bel- gian Company engine with a rating of 750 hp at 600 rpm, a Reintjes reduction gear with a ratio of 3:1 and an Adrio five-blade propeller. The auxil- iary engines are supplied by Volvo (2 x TMD 122, with a power of 282 hp at 1,500 rpm). The pumps are Azcue and the fuel purifier is by Alfa Laval. The Crusader was delivered in January, and is the first of a pair of wet-fish trawlers that Astilleros Armon is building for Scofish International Ltd. The hydraulic pumps used to drive this equip- ment are built by Denison, and the engines are Hagglunds. The ship is arranged with a control console in the bridge with a Scancontrol 2000 Autotrawl system which controls all fishing ma- neuvers. The propulsive system of the Crusader is made up of a Caterpillar 3512 engine producing 900 hp at 1,200 rpm, a Finnoy reduction gear with a ratio of 5:1, and a variable-pitch, four-blade propeller coupled to corresponding shafting. To improve maneuverability, a bowthruster is incorporated. For more information on Astilleros Armon Circle 96 on Reader Service Card Maltoa Uno Main Particulars Length o.a 142.7 ft.
